Need to produce Brinell hardness values with your Rockwell tester? Hardness conversion makes it possible. Depending on application and availability, different hardness test equipment is used, each presenting their results in a different hardness-scale (e.g., Vickers, Rockwell or Brinell). Too often there is a need to present the hardness results in a different scale than …

Do you ever wonder how far to space indents when performing Rockwell hardness tests? Indent spacing is a common concern during specimen testing or coupon block verification. Your results can be adversely influenced by spacing indents too close to one another or to the edge of the material. The accepted criteria are that the distance …

Testing the hardness of a welded joint is well documented in standards like the ISO 9015 and the ISO 15614. These standards describe test loads, number of indents for parent material, heat effected zone (HAZ) and weld as well as the distances between each indent and the depth below the surface of the welded joint. …
